1. She was the first person to call me on my birthday.

In this sentence, we need to use the infinitive form of the verb "call" after the preposition "to" because it follows the structure "be the first person to do something." Therefore, the correct form is "to call."

2. I helped her carry heavy bags.

In this sentence, we need to use the base form of the verb "carry" because it follows the structure "help + someone + verb." Therefore, the correct form is "carry."

3. I don't deny doing something wrong if I did it.

In this sentence, we need to use the gerund form of the verb "do" after the verb "deny" because it is used to talk about an action that has already happened. Therefore, the correct form is "doing."

4. Sally can speak English fluently.

In this sentence, there is no need for any changes. The verb "can" is followed by the base form of the verb "speak." Therefore, the sentence is correct as it is.

5. My sister apologized for being late.

In this sentence, we need to use the gerund form of the verb "be" after the preposition "for" because it is used to talk about the reason or cause of the apology. Therefore, the correct form is "being."

I hope this explanation helps you understand the correct forms of the verbs used in the sentences. Let me know if you have any further questions!
